Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

What age would you let your children read the All Creatures Great and Small series of books?

We have Herriot's Treasury for Children and it's great for the youngers but dd, almost 11, is a total animal fiend, and is itching to read them...It's been many moons since I read them. I loved the books but seem to remember a few "adult" situations rather vaguely--any comments?

Thanks!

When you would not mind your children introduced to colorful language, medical details and characters who smoke and sneak out to visit women. Definitely a personal decision.

Not only that, but I just don't see the storylines as being that appealing to a child, though perhaps a teen. I LOVED them as an adult, but I know I would not have been interested as a child, and I have always been an animal lover, too-even considered being a vet for a time.
